I keep getting collared by a bloke who says that the war in Afghanistan is a cover for our Illuminati Freemason Shapeshifting Lizard masters to corner the market in mind-bending drugs. "It's true," he says, "I heard it on TalkSport". Tell us your stories of encounters with tinfoil hatters.

Probably preaching to the converted but..
If you like conspiracies don't waste your time reading any of the the sorry excuses of books written by Dan Brown
Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea's 'The Illuminatus! Trilogy'
Umberto Eco's 'Foucault's Pendulum'
fnord
Both are very good, brilliantly written and in the case of the Illuminatus! Trilogy full of drugs and sex

Is one of the heaviest-going things I have ever read. I thought it would never end.
Good, but noewhere near as readable as 'The Name of the Rose'.

First read Foucault's Pendulum in the early 1990s, and still go back to it occasionally. Absolutely beautiful, if a little heavy going.
Got the Illuminatus! Trilogy far too late, three or four years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed them though.

It took me half the book to get into it, and the other half enjoying it.
Try Baudolino, that book was awesome.

... But I find John Twelve Hawks' books to be a slightly more intelligent take on airport reading.
